He was spoiled by all sorts of “godmothers” and “gossips” who constantly emphasize that he is “the son of Stalin.” I am glad that in your person there was at least one self-respecting teacher who treats Vasily like everyone else and demands from the impudent submission to the general regime at school. Vasily is spoiled by the directors, like the one you mentioned, people are rags who have no place in school, and if the impudent Vasily has not had time to ruin himself yet, it's because there are some teachers in our country who do not let down a capricious barchuk.

I had no idea that she corresponded with people like that. It makes me wish I had known this 40 years ago when I first started reading about the Soviet Union. There are MANY questions I would have liked to ask.... I think my first question would have been to confirm something attributed to one of her books where she said her father said something VERY troubling after the Germans invaded the Soviet Union. She quoted him as saying "It's too bad Hitler decided to invade us. TOGETHER, WE COULD REALLY HAVE DONE SOME THINGS." That is probably the single most chilling thing I've ever read.

This video only covers his acknowledged children. I've seen claims that he had several mistresses over and above the two women named in the video and had children with some of these mistresses. As far as I know, none of those children were ever acknowledged to be his but I've heard a claim that he has (or at least had; he might have died by now) a grandson that looked just like him resulting from his time with one of these mistresses. Apparently, the housekeeper who tended one of his dachas was one of these mistresses and she was the one who actually found him after he'd had the massive stroke that killed him a few days later. She was the only person who dared to enter his room when he didn't come out on his own; everyone else fearted for their jobs (or lives) if they entered his room without him summoning them first.

I came from Zion and incarnated on earth to gain My firstborn sons, to shame your father (these words are addressed to the descendants of the great red dragon), to help My first-born children, and correct the wrongs done to My first-born children. In the past, My children were intimidated and oppressed, and since the Father holds power for the children, My children will return to My loving embrace, never to be intimidated and oppressed again. More importantly, this is the only way that will allow My first born children to reign with Me in power.) Almighty God said Disasters in the WORLD ARE INTENSIFYING EVERY DAY, and in My HOME, severe disasters are intensifying. People have REALLY NOTHING to HIDE, NO PLACE they can hide THEMSELVES.

For ALL My FIRSTBORN CHILDREN, I will comfort them one by one, I will RAISE them step by step; as for the servants, I will remove and abandon them one by one. 🙏 ☀️ This is a part of My management plan. After all the servants have been revealed, My firstborn children will also be revealed. (For Me, this is very easy. AFTER THEY HEAR My WORDS, ALL the SERVANTS will gradually retreat BEFORE THE JUDGMENT and threat of My WORDS, and ONLY My FIRSTBORN CHILDREN will be left. 🙏 It is not a voluntary thing nor can it be changed by human will; rather, it is My Spirit personally working.) This is not a distant event, and you should somehow and must infer it from within this phase of My work and My words. Why I will speak so much and the unpredictability of My expressions is beyond people's understanding. I SPEAK to My FIRST CHILDREN in a TONE of COMFORT, COMPASSION, and LOVE (Because I ALWAYS ILLUMINATE these PEOPLE and NEVER FORSAKE THEM, because I CONSIGNED THEM), as I subject people apart from My firstborn children in severe judgment, in threats, and intimidation, which makes them always afraid to the point where they are always nervous. ☀️ When the situation reaches a certain point, they will escape from this condition (WHEN I DESTROY THE WORLD, these PEOPLE will go to the ETERNAL DEEP), but they will never escape My hand in judgment, and they will never free from this situation. ☀️ This, then, is their judgment; this is their chastisement. On the DAY the FOREIGNERS COME, I WILL REVEAL these PEOPLE one by one. These are the steps in My work. Now, do you understand the purpose behind My previous utterances of those words? In My opinion, something that has not been fulfilled is also something that has been fulfilled, but something that has been fulfilled does not necessarily mean something that has been achieved. This is because I have My wisdom, and I have My way of doing things, which people really cannot understand. When I have achieved results in this step (when I have revealed all those who are evil against Me), I will start the next step, because My will is unstoppable and no one dares to hinder My plan of management and nothing dares to put obstacles - they must get out of the way! CHILDREN of the GREAT RED DRAGON, LISTEN TO ME! ☀️ I CAME from ZION and was INCARNATED on WORLD to GET My FIRSTBORN CHILDREN, to SHAME your FATHER (these words are addressed to the descendants of the great red dragon), to HELP My FIRSTBORN CHILDREN, and RECTIFY THE WRONG DONE to My FIRSTborn CHILDREN. ☀️🙏 So DON'T BE CRUEL AGAIN; I WILL LET My ELDERLY CHILDREN fix you. IN THE PAST, My CHILDREN HAVE BEEN FEARED and OPPRESSED, and since the FATHER HOLDS POWER for the CHILDREN, My CHILDREN will RETURN to My LOVING EMBRACE, never to be FEARED and OPPRESSED AGAIN. 🙏💐 I am not unrighteous; It SHOWS My RIGHTEOUSNESS, and it is REALLY "loving what I love and hating what I hate." ☀️ If you say that I am unrighteous, you should hurry away. Do not be shameless and smoke in My home. You should hurry back to your home so I don't have to see you. The ETERNAL DEPTH is your DESTINY and there you WILL STAY. If you are in My home, there will be no place for you, because you are work animals; you are the tools I use. When I can no longer use you, I will THROW you into the FIRE to BURN you. These are My administrative assignments; I have to do it this way, and this alone shows how I work and reveal My righteousness and My majesty.

@@gladiuspax2390 Hitler was a strange guy in these situations. If it were the lives of people on a piece of paper he couldn't have cared less about the deaths of millions. But when his decisions touched the lives of people he was close to he reacted highly emotionally. Stalin wasn't like that.

[@petezereeeah]

@@gladiuspax2390 Hitler had close working relationships with his generals. When they displeased him he fired them, but ensured they kept full miliary pensions for their families, and he often re hired them. Stalin had his generals shot. People were nothing to him.

[@user-dy6oq4ou2v]

The only way to defend his phrasing is if he meant "to fly" in the old sense of "run away very fast" which I've seen in books that predate aviation.

Not that Stalin truly cared about the Russian people. He only really cared for himself, his position of power, and the survival of the communist party and system.

If only that were true. He devoted his life to no higher ideal, just the safeguarding and expansion of his own personal power. That’s why the Soviets immediately started attacking his legacy and cult of personality after his death. They couldn’t be happier to get rid of that paranoid psychopath. The revolution succeeded in spite of him, and the Soviet Union survived WW2 in spite of him.

Your pronuncition is terrible, with the top being how you confused a capital i with a small l, it's iosifovna. And Dzhugashvili, it's Jew-gush-villy and Nadezhda, Na-dezh-da, zh like in invasion.

[@cydkriletich6538]

His second wife’s name is pronounced Na-dayzh-da, accent on the second syllable. I had a great aunt with that name. The name Nadia is a common nickname and has become a much more used name than the original. I read his daughter Svetlana’s autobiography. Terrifying. The man was a Sociopath and raging narcissist. A blood thirsty murderer who imprisoned and murdered several family members. Along with Hitler, one of histories greatest monsters.
